BITCOIN PRICE RALLY IN 2017 CAUSED BY ONE WHALE?! | Stellar Lumens (XLM) Crypto Supply Manipulation?

➡️ TEEKA TIWARI – Investment of the Decade: http://2020.cryptonewsalerts.net

Russian lawmakers have proposed new laws that seek to ban the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the country, local media reported.

According to draft bills submitted by a group of deputies to the Russian parliament recently, individuals may face up to seven years in prison and fines of up to $7,000 for using BTC in financial transactions.

People will also be penalized for buying crypto with cash or transferring to accounts opened with Russian banks.

If signed into law, the bills will punish companies that issue or operate virtual currencies without approval from the Russian central bank, with fines of up to two million rubles or about $28,000.

Furthermore, “for violation of the rules for transactions with cryptocurrencies, if they are used as payment for goods or services,” companies would have to pay the equivalent of one million rubles ($13,900) and individuals at least 200,000 rubles ($2,800).

The draft bills were lodged with Russia’s Ministry of Economic Development earlier this week, says a report published by local news company RBC on May 21.

One of the proposed laws plans to completely stop digital assets from being used as a means of payment by citizens or corporations. People that already hold digital assets will be forced to register them with Russia’s tax agency and explain how they acquired them.

Another bill proposes to add new sections to the country’s criminal law for illegal operations with cryptocurrencies. Companies that issue or circulate digital financial assets “using sites registered in Russia or technical equipment located in Russia” are especially liable under this second draft proposal.

Penalties may be compounded for both individuals and firms “if major or especially large damage was caused to citizens, organizations or the state, or if these actions led to enrichment on a large or especially large scale.”

Local lawyers fear that if these laws are enforced, they will paralyze the Russian cryptocurrency industry. Dmitry Kirillov, a senior tax lawyer at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and a teacher at Moscow Digital School, told RBC:

“People who currently own cryptocurrencies will be forced to get rid of them before the law comes into force or risk ‘going underground.’ Goals that will be achieved this way are the direct opposite of what’s being declared. In general, the idea of dropping a crypto ‘Iron Curtain,’ in my opinion, does not contribute to the development of businesses or Russia’s interaction with the world economy on a digital level.”

Chorus of Crypto Analysts Predict the Start of Altseason As Bitcoin Consolidates Around $9,000

As Bitcoin bulls and bears slug it out around the $9,000 price area, a handful of widely-followed analysts say they believe that an altcoin season may be on the horizon.

In a recent tweet, crypto strategist Crypto Ed NL tells his 92,000 followers that while he’s been bearish on altcoins since the fourth quarter of 2019, he is now changing his stance.

“Okay guys I’ve been annoying you all since October saying ‘no altseason’ yet but… This is how an altseason starts. Ready to rumble?”

➡️ $274 Million Secret: Larry Benedict Live Event (Register Below)
http://trade.cryptonewsalerts.net

Since the Bitcoin price tapped $6,500 in late-November, analysts have been wondering if the bottom is really in.

The BTC price bounced by 20% from $6,500, hitting $7,850 just a week after that.

Now, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at just above $7,500, seemingly trying to establish a market trend for the coming week.

While some say that Bitcoin’s inability to move past the resistance in the high-$7,000s is decisively bearish, an analyst has said that the odds are leaning in the favor of bulls.

Why BTC Could Jump 15%: Popular trader Mr. Chief (or Halo Crypto) recently noted on Crypto Twitter that the cryptocurrency ball is finally entering the court of the bulls.

He noted that the inverse chart of Bitcoin has shown that the cryptocurrency has broken below (meaning above) a key trend line that has been in place for over six weeks.

The asset is also situated in a descending channel (actually an ascending channel) that implies a move to $8,500 is “definitely on the table.”

A move to $8,500 would mark a 15% rally from current price levels. Also Adaptive Capital’s Willy Woo, a popular on-chain metrics analyst, noted on Dec. 7 that a proprietary indicator his fund uses is implying that the usage of the Bitcoin network is implying that bulls will soon gain the upper hand again:

“On-chain momentum is crossing into bullish [territory]… The bottom is most likely in, any [move] lower will be just a wick in the macro view.”

Deutsche Bank Research: Crypto to Replace Fiat Currencies by 2030 By 2030, the demand for alternative currencies will rise, with digital currencies eventually replacing cash, according to recent research from Deutsche Bank.

In the “Imagine 2030” report, Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid raised awareness of the challenges the existing fiat system has encountered in recent years, specifically with the emergence of cryptocurrencies.

Reid stipulated that people’s heightened demand for dematerialized means of payment and anonymity could drive more individuals to digital currencies.

15% Jump to $8,500 on the Table for Bitcoin Price; Analyst Explains Why

https://cointelegraph.com/news/deutsche-bank-research-crypto-to-replace-fiat-currencies-by-2030

➡️ Leverage OPM (Other People’s Money): http://opm.cryptonewsalerts.net

Bitcoin can pass its $20,000 all-time highs within weeks, says Alex Saunders, while Ethereum only needs a year to beat its own record.

BTC can hit $100,000 in five years and $1 million by 2035, Nugget’s News CEO Alex Saunders has told Cointelegraph.

Speaking in an interview with Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michaël van de Poppe on Nov. 18, Saunders described current conditions as a “perfect backdrop” for new highs.

“It’s either going to keep going like right now in the next few weeks and get to $20,000 very quickly, or it’s going to have its bit of a range now and then hopefully positive into next year,” he said.

Saunders was speaking as BTC/USD came off recent highs of $18,400 to move in a wide corridor, which has become focused on $17,700. Gains have been swift, with weekly performance alone delivering up to 15% returns.

Looking ahead, Saunders believed that six or seven figures for Bitcoin lay some way off, but that a combination of money and adoption meant that there was now “no way out.”

“I honestly think that Bitcoin will hit $100,000 in the next five years, and then it’s going to become about, ‘Well do they actually try and shut it down, or how do they regulate it and trade it?’” he told Van de Poppe.

“And if it’s allowed to just continue on its mission and absorb all the money from around the world and become a global reserve currency… I think we can get to $1 million per coin in the next, whatever that is, 15 years.”

The estimates appear somewhat conservative by comparison to some extant price forecasts, among them, the popular stock-to-flow based series, which predicts at least $100,000 by next year.

Saunders’ concerns about legality in the event of major price rises echo those of major investor Ray Dalio, whose comments on Bitcoin earned him significant publicity this week.

In terms of the largest altcoin Ether (ETH), meanwhile, the prognosis is even better. Saunders considers there to be a strong possibility that new all-time highs for ETH/USD are a year away — or less.

Given current performance, that would require nearly 200% of upside from press-time levels of $470.

Ether, like most altcoins, has failed to copy Bitcoin’s recent advances, despite the rollout of the long-awaited Ethereum 2.0 and associated roadmap, which will transform the network.

Van de Poppe nonetheless agrees that the future is likely bright for Ether, with the next bull run halting only at an order of magnitude above the peak of the previous one.

“Next cycle ATH for ETH probably between $10,000–20,000,” he told Twitter followers on Wednesday.

Bitcoin Price Dives Back Under $16,900 As Whale Deposits Spike Again

The BTC price dropped below $16,900 again on Nov. 27 across top exchanges, including Binance. The recent pullback comes as whale exchange deposits started to increase.

Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, reported that the All Exchange Inflows Mean indicator reached the “danger zone.” Historically, this caused BTC to suffer short-term corrections.

After the price of Bitcoin briefly dropped to $16,200 on Nov. 27, it started to show some signs of recovery. It remained above the $17,000 level for over 11 hours before another leg down.

Following the sharp drop of Bitcoin, a low volatility price range was expected. The earlier drop on Nov. 26 to $16,200 decimated exchange order books, particularly in the futures market. 

Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of futures contracts were liquidated within several hours, as Cointelegraph Markets reported.
